Heinen's Building A $9 Mil. Expanded Facility In Warrensville Heights

WARRENSVILLE HEIGHTS, Ohio — Demolition crews from the Cuyahoga Land Bank are clearing the future home of Heinen's Fine Foods' $9 million expanded bakery, meat-cutting facility and prepared foods kitchens on South Miles Road in Warrensville Heights, just west of the 85-year-old grocer's current warehouses.

Scheduled for completion in early 2016, the 70,000-square-foot food production facility will be more efficient than Heinen's current buildings, enable the company to offer products it doesn't have the space for now, and provide full-time jobs for another 20 to 25 people, in addition to the current 50 employees.

It will also enable the grocer to better supply its now 20 stores, including four in Greater Chicago, as well as its downtown Cleveland store opening next spring, and a Chagrin Falls store for which co-Presidents Jeff and Tom Heinen have signed a letter of intent.
